Tory staggered out of the Raptor's hatch and stared around, dazed. "Tom..." she started, then coughed and went on more strongly, "Tom got me a message. He said something was about to happen, something he needed someone trustworthy on hand for. Roslin..." She bit her lip. "She didn't have anything left. Just hanging on to the Admiral..." A deep breath. "Where's Tom?"
I choose
Tory Foster.
BSG
"Where's Tom?"
Oh, hi Tory! You passed him on the way in!
New loyalty card heading your way. Brace yourself!
BSG
Ok, now the formalities have been dealt with, the basestar (I'm sure you'll all agree it's been waiting very patiently) fires upon the fleet!
Die roll: 7. Hit!
Tory, your first decision is whether the basestar was aiming at Galactica or Pegasus. When you're ready, please post your choice.
BSG
Pegasus is a good choice, always in fashion.
BSG
Pegasus bears the brunt of its wrath.
Airlock damaged.
Finally, the jump track, set back two spaces by Gaeta's sabotage, recovers half that distance. That concludes Zarek'a Tory's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG
I'm going to step outside for a little air.
I
play PF-0
to
move to Pegasus CIC, and
play
SP-4
before I attack that puppy.
BSG
Blow it up, Helo! BLOW IT UP!
Welcome to the crew, President Tory! Hope Tom knows it was nothing personal.
(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause,
Pegasus
would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)
BSG
Helo fires at the basestar:
Die roll: 1 + 2 = 3.
The Admiral, being unfamiliar with the controls of this newer basestar, has managed to damage Pegasus instead! Specifically,
Pegasus CIC.
Oops. Helo returns to Galactica on a stretcher.
(But given that if he hadn't sacrificed himself for the cause, Pegasus would be almost destroyed right now and Helo may not have been able to do what he's doing...thanks.)
And as befits a noble warrior, he was given a Viking funeral. Of course, you can't set his body adrift on a burning longboat just
anywhere.
You need water. Lots and lots of water. Helo's crisis is:
Water Shortage
President's Choice
What say you, Tory? Does the Viking sendoff go ahead? When you're ready, please post your choice.
